The beginner’s guide to Plex


plex-gs7-1.jpg?itok=Xo7a6OE_

Plex is an amazing tool to access your media content on all your devices. Here’s a quick beginners guide to getting up and running.

Plex is one of those services that has been around for some time but many of us might have passed over for some reason, be it a lack of understanding of what it actually does, thinking it couldn’t possibly be useful to you, or something else entirely. The truth is, Plex could be just what you’re looking for to help you manage your media collection.

Setting up a media server sounds daunting, but Plex makes it super simple — and dare we say, enjoyable. You just need to know where to begin, which is where we come in.

This is our beginner’s guide to Plex.

What is Plex?

plex-gs7-2.jpg?itok=Q_1sLY59

The official Plex website describes it quite well:

One window into all your personal media. No matter where you are.

Your personal media. Everything you own, everything you have on your computer, accessible everywhere. On your mobile devices, through the web, even on some smart TVs and set top boxes.

Setting up

nas-setup-qnap-synology-hero-01.jpg?itok

Before you can use Plex to access your media on your other devices, you first need to set up your home server. This isn’t nearly as daunting as it sounds and involves downloading the Plex Media Server app to your computer. It comes in flavors for Mac, Windows, and Linux, as well as in a form designed for NAS drives. So it covers lots of bases.

Once installed, getting set up is a simple matter of following instructions in the web client — all your Plex-ing on your computer will be done in a browser — to tell it where to look for various media content. You’ll be hosting the content yourself, so you’ll need to make sure you can get to it at all times if you want to be streaming while away from home. That means storing it all on a laptop you take with you probably isn’t the best idea.

netgear-x10.jpg?itok=tqYr9q3c

If you have a supported NAS drive, a standalone desktop computer, or even an older, now spare PC, these will be the best options. Ideally, you want something you can leave turned on, connected to the web, and most importantly, something you don’t throw in a rucksack and take on the road with you.

Plex Media Server has also been built for the Netgear X10 router. This is an expensive bit of kit, but it’s also one of the most powerful, fastest Wi-Fi routers on the planet. By installing the special Plex Media Server build on it, you can run the very same system as if you had it on a PC. You can hook it up to a network-attached drive, and you don’t need a PC to be running at all.

When you’re telling Plex where to find your media, it’s important to make sure the files are named in a way the software will understand, and that they’re stored in a folder structure, in the case of TV shows. Plex has some handy hints on how to best prepare your media for your server.

Additionally, if you’re an NVIDIA Shield TV owner, you can set up Plex Media Server right on the box. No joke!

Channels — content that isn’t yours

plex-gs7-3.jpg?itok=B6BNotNW

Beyond just your own content, Plex has a bunch of different content channels built in for you to use within the various Plex apps across the platforms. Some of them, like BBC iPlayer, already have good standalone apps for Android and other platforms, but why do in many what you can do in one, right?

Like everything, though, Channels will be region-dependent. So if you can’t get BBC iPlayer on the web or in the Android app where you are, Plex won’t be able to help. There’s a good selection of stuff from global providers, though, such as the TWiT network, 5by5, and Revision 3.

The great thing about channels is that they’re all available to watch in the mobile apps, too, and that also means you can cast them to your Chromecast and watch them on the TV that way.

What is Plex Pass?

plex-pass.jpg?itok=rs-H_MjT

If you find that you like Plex and want to get the most out of it, Plex Pass is something you should consider. It’s an add-on that you can pay for monthly, yearly, or as a lifetime subscription.

Here’s what it does, direct from the Plex support pages:

  • Early access to new Plex features.
  • Access to preview release versions of the Plex Media Server and other apps before they’re released generally.
  • The latest Plex apps for Android and Roku are yours free.
  • Premium features like Plex Sync, Cloud Sync and Camera Upload.
  • Access to dedicated Plex Pass forums where you can ask the Plex Ninjas questions as well as vote up new feature requests.
  • A way to show your direct support for Plex.

plex-dvr-hero.jpg?itok=53IQxbJT

We’re not short on photo backup services, but with Plex, you’ll be combining it with the rest of your media collection and as such can access it on any device with a Plex app. It’s also worth paying for if you ever want to offline your media and take it with you.

As for pricing, you’ll pay $4.99 a month, $39.99 a year, or $149.99 for a lifetime subscription.

Some of the more recent features of Plex Pass really take your home media center up a notch such as live TV and DVR. Initially, you’ll only be able to use a limited number of devices with live TV, but the feature will eventually roll out to all apps on all devices.

The NVIDIA Shield TV was the first to support live TV, with the Android mobile version of Plex to follow. To watch live TV in Plex you’ll also need a suitable TV tuner, like the HDHomeRun Connect.

One of the most appealing parts of Plex is its wide support. Plex is one of the most widely available applications on mobile, desktop, and gaming consoles, with access on the Xbox One and Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4, various smart TVs and set-top boxes such as Roku and NVIDIA Shield along with Android, iOS, and Windows 10.

It doesn’t end there, either, with Plex branching out into Kodi support, too. If you’re looking to create a home theater PC as well as a server, there’s the free Plex Media Player app for your home theater, which is available on Mac, Windows, and even Raspberry Pi.

When it comes to your media, the device you choose shouldn’t hinder your enjoyment. Plex is one service that eliminates that problem almost entirely.

Flip phones are making a comeback


With the announcement of Samsung’s Galaxy Folder 2 flip phone in South Korea, it’s a wonder if we’re backtracking through time to when phones were simpler things.

I can’t believe I’m writing about a flip phone in 2017, but lo and behold, here we are.

galaxy-book-2.jpg?itok=zk_6l9BT

What you see here is Samsung’s Galaxy Folder 2, a flip phone with a 3.8-inch display that’s sandwiched in between a large keypad and an outward-facing metal shell. There are also separate shortcut buttons for quickly accessing contacts, text messages, social channels, and the camera app — just like on the flip phones or yore — in addition to physical Android navigation buttons.

Inside, the Galaxy Folder 2 is a 1.4GHz quad-core processor with 2GB of RAM and 16GB of storage. Fret not about the limited storage space, however, as there’s an additional expansion slot along with a 1950mah battery powering the entire thing.

Unfortunately, even if you wanted to buy this thing for a giggle, you’d have to contend with its year-old, outdated software. The Galaxy Folder 2 runs on Android 6.0 Marshmallow, which is so old. It’s also equipped with 15 special ringtones that, according to a translation of the Korean-written press release, “focus on the audible spectrum of the middle-aged people.”

The Galaxy Folder 2 is only available in South Korea at present. However, it got us thinking: is what’s happening overseas an indication of what’s coming to the mainstream phone market? Are we due for a resurgence of cellphones past? Has nostalgia officially caught up enough that it’s affecting technology, too? What do you think?

BabelOn is trying to create Photoshop for your voice


Speech synthesis — the process of artificially creating the human voice — isn’t anything new. But a startup from San Francisco called BabelOn is working on a particularly unique offshoot of this technology. In a nutshell, BabelOn wants to make it a trivial matter to translate your own voice into another language, even if you don’t speak that language yourself. The company says its combo of software and custom-built hardware can analyze what makes up your voice and then use that to recreate speech that sounds just like you, in a language of your choosing.

Initially, the company wants to use its technology for things like improving dubbed films or localizing video games, but eventually it wants to be able to translate your speech in real time, say while you’re on a Skype call. Microsoft has done this for a while, translating Skype voice calls on the fly, but BabelOn promises that its translations will sound like you, not an anonymous Siri- or Cortana-like digital voice.

It’s an intriguing idea, but let’s be clear: It’s very early days for BabelOn. We haven’t seen the software in action, and the company hasn’t booked a client yet. The company is in negotiations with a video game developer to use BabelOn for translating a forthcoming title, but the deal’s not done yet. There’s promise here but also plenty of potential pitfalls, not the least of which is the idea of someone’s voice being “stolen” and used in a way she didn’t consent to.

Though BabelOn isn’t ready just yet, the idea behind it has existed since 2004. Co-founder Daisy Hamilton’s parents had noticed a demand for better language dubbing in the film industry. They received a patent for the core technology behind BabelOn, but the rest of the technology they needed to make this vision a reality wasn’t around yet.

Now, though, the surrounding technologies and hardware are sophisticated enough that BabelOn can begin to put its idea into practice. The core part of the process is creating a BabelOn Language Information Profile, or BLIP. Over the course of about two hours in the company’s San Francisco studio, an individual’s BLIP is created by having them read specific texts in a variety of emotional states.

But BabelOn doesn’t just capture the sound of a voice. Hamilton described it as looking at your body as an instrument. BabelOn’s custom hardware can capture and analyze your breath, how your voice comes out of your chest and throat, how your mouth moves, and a variety of other key factors. “It’s both visual and vocal feedback that’s captured into a single continuous stream,” Hamilton said.

Once recorded, BabelOn will be able to take your voice and translate it into other languages and replicate the corresponding emotion that a script calls for, without you needing to go out and record entirely new dialogue. Imagine a game company wanting to localize an English voice-acting performance for other countries; BabelOn could let companies use the same voice actor and digitally create her dialogue rather than having to find a native speaker to rerecord the entire script.

To start, the company is focusing on English, French, Spanish, German, Portuguese, Mandarin, Japanese and Hindi, with additional languages coming down the line based on demand. But it’s important to note that you can’t just type words in English into a computer and have BabelOn do both the voice creation and translation: It needs to be provided with a specific script or input in the language you’re looking to translate to. However, you can specify the desired emotional output of the translated performance; Hamilton called it an “emotional markup language.”

As for the hardware itself, it was developed in partnership with the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, a federal institution focused on developing science and technology. It’s actually a variation on hardware that’s been in use by the US Department of Defense for unrelated applications. Hamilton didn’t offer up many other details, but eventually the company hopes to set up multiple studios in locations beyond San Francisco.

Hamilton said it takes a few hours to fully process a script and output it in another language. But with further work and processing improvements, she envisions the system working in near-real time. That’s something that would greatly expand BabelOn’s capabilities beyond films and games. Doing a video call that get translated almost instantly with your own voice could make multi-language conversation a lot more personal and expressive.

But the idea of taking BabelOn to consumers brings up a major security challenge. If the technology to create a BLIP becomes more commonplace and the translation software is used in more applications, it’s easy to imagine voice data being an appealing target for hackers who want to literally put words in someone’s mouth. Hamilton noted that the company has an ethics board to head off potential misuse, but that doesn’t solve the security challenge of keeping your voice safe.

Hamilton addressed those concerns, noting that BabelOn will “use a highly encrypted offline voice vault to store all of the BLIP, which would be curated upon request of the [original] speaker.” Offline storage would certainly make this harder to crack in to, and Hamilton also noted that BLIPs would have a reference visual cue that indicates when voices and languages have been altered. It’s still not clear how this will scale if the service becomes popular, but it’s something BabelOn is aware of. “Security of BLIPs is massively important to us, as we’d never want to threaten someone’s vocal authenticity,” she said.

Security is the kind of challenge that could keep BabelOn from ever being something consumers can use. For people recording dialogue in a movie or game, their BLIP could be destroyed when the work is done. But a tool that can capture and then create language using someone’s voice in real time is basically unheard of and something that could be a huge target for hackers.

BabelOn’s introduction to the public is via an Indiegogo campaign — a strange choice given that the technology isn’t directed at consumers. Hamilton said its purpose is to get funds to extend a software license the company needs to finish its own work. But she also stressed that they have backup plans in place if the campaign doesn’t meet its goal. “It’s just as much about using Indiegogo as a launch pad to put BabelOn out in the world,” Hamilton said.

Hamilton hopes and expects that BabelOn will have its first client soon. If it can get a video game made with BabelOn, it’ll give the company a concrete example of its technology to court other clients and push development forward — but until then, we’re still in the theoretical realm. It’s way too early to know whether this technology will take off with the movie and game companies BabelOn is targeting, let alone whether we’ll see it in consumer-focused products some years down the line.

Trump’s infrastructure proposal includes rural broadband expansion


In a speech this week given at Kirkwood Community College in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, President Trump said that his upcoming infrastructure plan will include expanded broadband internet access in rural areas. “I will be including a provision in our infrastructure proposal — $1 trillion proposal, you’ll be seeing it very shortly — to promote and foster, enhance broadband access for rural America,” he said.

Access to high-speed internet has persistently been lower in rural areas compared to urban regions — an issue that led the FCC to launch its Connect America Fund, which was approved in 2014. The fund brought $170 million to New York earlier this year and AT&T has begun fulfilling its Connect America Fund promise to expand access, starting with Georgia. Earlier this year, New York Representatives asked the president to include expanded broadband access in his infrastructure plan.

In a statement to reporters before the president’s speech, US Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue said, “We think we ought to have the same push to have broadband connectivity all over the country because in the 21st century it is just as important as a telephone, water, sewer, roads. It has become an infrastructure of necessity.”

Mars Rover’s AI is really good at selecting rocks to analyze


If we truly want to go to Mars, then we really need to know what it’s made of — it’s hard to bring everything you need from Earth. NASA’s Curiosity Mars rover has been using specialized AI software to zap soil and rocks on the planet this past year to discover what each is made of. The software that guides the rover’s efforts is called AEGIS, or Autonomous Exploration for Gathering Increased Science. AEGIS allows the rover to get more science of this nature done while Curiosity is out of contact with its human controllers, according to a new paper published by NASA in Science Robotics.

“Time is precious on Mars,” said lead system engineer Raymond Francis in a statement. “AEGIS allows us to make use of time that otherwise wasn’t available because we were waiting for someone on Earth to make a decision.”

The AEGIS software operates in two different ways: autonomous target selection and autonomous pointing refinement. Basically, these two systems allow the rover to select targets and refine its own laser targeting to analyze samples chosen according to the parameters scientists have selected beforehand. The software has performed at a very high level, exceeding 93 percent accuracy when choosing the correct materials to analyze. According to the paper, the AEGIS autonomous system has “substantially reduced lost time on the mission” and increased the speed of data collection. Before AEGIS was implemented last year, the rover carried out blind targeting, just in case it hit something worthwhile. “Half the time it would just hit soil — which was also useful, but rock measurements are much more interesting to our scientists,” Francis said.

The system has been so useful that NASA is including AEGIS in its upcoming Mars 2020 mission, with an updated version of the imaging system called SuperCam. This new device will have more advanced analysis capabilities to study the crystal structure of rocks.

FCC proposes ‘Blue Alert’ for threats against law enforcement


During their June Open Meeting today, the FCC adopted a proposal to add an alert to the US Emergency Alert System. If enacted, the Blue Alert would notify the public of ongoing threats to law enforcement in their area through broadcast, cable, satellite and wireline video outlets.

The new alert was proposed by FCC Chairman Ajit Pai in May and a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) was released for the Commission to consider at today’s meeting. In a press release, the FCC said, “Blue Alerts can be used to warn the public when there is actionable information related to a law enforcement officer who is missing, seriously injured or killed in the line of duty, or when there is an imminent credible threat to an officer. As a result, a Blue Alert could quickly warn you if a violent suspect may be in your community, along with providing instructions on what to do if you spot the suspect and how to stay safe.”

There are 27 states that already have their own version of the Blue Alert, but the FCC’s proposal is intended to provide a national system that states can adopt. The new alert is similar to the Amber Alert that has had a fair amount of success since its creation in 1996. According to the Department of Justice, 868 children have been rescued because of the alert.

The press release says the NPRM invites the public to comment on the proposal. While the final NPRM hasn’t been released by the FCC yet, once it has been, you can tell them what you think here.

Death by text: How the Michelle Carter case will impact free speech


Words can kill, a Massachusetts Juvenile Court judge decided last Friday, when he found 20-year old Michelle Carter guilty of involuntary manslaughter in the 2014 suicide of her then-boyfriend, Conrad Roy III. This decision, with its broad interpretation of the manslaughter statute, could potentially pose long-lasting consequences for how we speak to each other online and how cyberbullying is addressed by social media platforms.

According to the prosecution, Carter spent the two weeks before Roy’s suicide texting him encouragement to kill himself. On July 12th, 2014, Roy drove to a remote Target parking lot and filled the cab of his truck with carbon monoxide from an external generator.

He reportedly called Carter while the truck filled with fumes. At one point, Roy changed his mind about committing suicide and exited the cab but went back in at Carter’s urging. She then listened to him slowly die without calling emergency medical services for help. What’s more, the prosecution only learned of this phone conversation only from texts sent between Carter and a friend weeks after the incident.

While courts have generally treated suicide as an act of free will, Judge Lawrence Moniz decided last week that Carter’s actions (and subsequent inaction) influenced Roy’s thinking enough to warrant her liability in his death. According to Massachusetts state law, involuntary manslaughter is defined as “an unlawful killing that was unintentionally caused as the result of the defendant’s wanton or reckless conduct” and is punishable “by imprisonment in the state prison for not more than 20 years or by a fine of not more than $1,000 and imprisonment in jail or a house of correction for not more than two-and-one-half years.”

This ruling is not sitting well with the Massachusetts branch of the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU). “It presents a number of problems, both from the criminal-justice standpoint and from a freedom-of-speech standpoint,” ACLU of Massachusetts Legal Director Matthew Segal said. “For criminal justice, this is a very aggressive charge. You don’t have to believe that what Ms. Carter said is appropriate. In fact, you can believe that what she said was awful and still believe that it isn’t manslaughter.”

Professor Robert Weisberg, faculty co-director at the Stanford Criminal Justice Center, isn’t so sure. “I think it’s a perfectly plausible interpretation of the involuntary-manslaughter statute,” he said. “The attraction of it for the prosecutor was that, although we now have lots of very specific cyberbullying statutes in various states, there’s nothing in our homicide statutes, generally, which limits the crime to a particular way of causing death. You have to cause death and you have to cause it with a certain mental state in which, in this case, it’s a kind of version of recklessness.”

From the free-speech standpoint, the ACLU is concerned that if this conviction is upheld, it may lead to “all kinds of other prosecutions.” Legal issues aside, he worries that this prosecution may dissuade people from engaging in uncomfortable but necessary dialogues with their loved ones, such as discussions about end-of-life decisions.

“The Commonwealth of Massachusetts has seemingly committed itself to the view that should one spouse convince the other to commit suicide because, say, her spouse was in horrible pain and suffering, she could be found guilty of manslaughter,” Segal argued. “It really shouldn’t be within the prosecutor’s discretion whether to charge them. … And the mere possibility that this would be a crime in Massachusetts would make people afraid to even have that [end-of-life] discussion.”

Here again, Weiberg disagrees. “My guess is that this will have very little effect on free speech,” he said. “If anything, it’s likely to embolden prosecutors” to try to imitate this interpretation in similar cases of suicide.

And whether this verdict even holds up on appeal is very much still up in the air. “There’s a good chance that the case the conviction can be overturned,” Weisberg said. “The boldest thing that the prosecutor did was argue that [Roy] would not have killed himself had it not been for her influence. Appellate-case law about causation makes it difficult to prove cause when there’s a suicide. There are cases where somebody commits a horrible assault on somebody else, like a sexual assault, and then the victim of the assault commits suicide. This is a different kind of case. This is kind of persuasion.”

The ACLU is also concerned that the youth of the commonwealth could be adversely affected by this ruling. Segal points out that the prosecution did not attempt to try Carter under more-constrained cyberbullying laws but rather a more expansive theory of what constitutes criminally negligent homicide.

“I don’t remember the defense for Ms. Carter asking the judge to condone what she said; 17-year-olds across this country say all sorts of horrible things to each other and urge each other to do things that are unwise. The consequence is that all that talk could be charged as crimes. … There’s no limit to the kinds of crimes our children can be charged with.”

However, it isn’t that different from yelling fire in a crowded theater, Dr. Sameer Hinduja, professor of criminology and criminal justice at Florida Atlantic University and co-director of the Cyberbullying Research Center, argues. It’s akin to joking about bomb plots on Capitol Hill. “Sometimes you do have certain situations where the bigger-picture goals call for censorship or a bit of control over what is being said,” he said. “We don’t want everyone to say just whatever they want.”

Hinduja believes that Carter’s words and text constituted cyberbullying, which he defines as “intentional and repeated harm inflicted through the use of electronic devices.” Hinduja said that harm “is typically insults, name calling or threats, or are forms of embarrassment and humiliation.”

What Carter did was “inducing him to feel awful enough about himself to the point that he took his own life, that would be harm,” he said. “[Roy] was harmed psychologically and emotionally based on those words. He did research the methods and made some sort of a plan, but at some point he also wanted to not kill himself and demonstrated that as well,” Hinduja added “So her words, not exclusively but maybe indirectly, led him to follow through” with his plan.

Cyberbullying is typically more of an offshoot or companion of physical bullying, Hinduja said, wherein the aggressor tends to be someone from school or the neighborhood who continues his attacks and harassment from the day on social media. “It’s very easy to continue that cruelty online,” Hinduja said.

Criminalization certainly didn’t work on the war on drugs, but perhaps it could work in the war on being a jerk online. “I actually think if there were a legal intervention, that would make a difference [in moderating harassment and abuse online],” Weisberg said. “The involuntary-manslaughter case would be very rare (though, fortunately, very few people may end up like the victim here) but I think a serious threat of low-level cyberbullying convictions, misdemeanor convictions, could change behavior. I think that’s probably the way to go.”

So what’s to be done to curb this behavior outside of criminalizing it? Hinduja hopes that social mores will change sufficiently to dissuade people from constantly encouraging each other to go die in various fires. If not, Hinduja said, “based on this verdict, maybe we’re opening a Pandora’s box, where if you do say something like that to another individual repeatedly” and can be identified by law enforcement, “maybe you share in the guilt or are culpable to some degree.” The threat of prosecution could be sufficient to stifle this sort of harassment online.

Segal, however, doesn’t think curbing such speech will be easily accomplished through censorship and threats of prison time. “We all know that even if there is a chilling effect [brought on by legal liabilities],” he said, “kids are going to continue to be kids.”

Log off now before today’s Steam’s summer sale leaves you broke


Your wallet is about to get a bit lighter. Or, if you lack self-control, a lot lighter. That’s because over the next 13 days games on Steam will be marked down dramatically during this year’s summer sale. The first crop includes up to half off the Final Fantasy franchise and 70 percent off underwater indie charmer Abzu. Hyper Light Drifter has been discounted by half as well, and if you wanted to explore Mafia III’s version of the Luisiana bayou, now it’ll only cost you around $15.

And back on the indie track, Transistor from the team at Supergiant games (Bastion) has been drastically reduced, from $19.99 all the way down to $2.99. And we’d be remiss for not mentioning the Diablo-esque Torchlight 2 is only $5 at the moment.

Of course, each of the next 12 days will see different sales, so it’ll be best to keep your browser locked on the Steam homepage. You wouldn’t want to miss the chance to buy a game you’ll never actually play, would you?
